Phone Line Status

[logger31]

On the D12-100 model receiver is there a menu or status screen of some sort that tells you weather you are connected to a wireless jack or phone line in general.

yes, go to menu/setup/settings/info & test. then press the up arrow, then the right arrow. this will test the phone connection among other things.

arrrgh my phone line connection portion of the test failed. I have everything plugged in right but something is not right about the indicator lights. its a wireless phone jack.

Have you tried using a wired connection to the unit, then run the test, at least you can eliminate that as the problem, since if it works wired, you know it's a wireless jack issue (not a D* issue), if it fails, it's a defective unit, in that case, D* should replace it free (if leased or covered by their plan).

Not all wireless phone jacks will work with modems. There are wireless modem jacks but they are more expensive.

The indicator lights on these units work but the connection does not.
